DB2 MAY RETURN INCORRECT RESULT FROM SELECT DISTINCT LEFT OUTER JOIN UNION ALL VIEW | |

DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 910 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
An SQL statement to perform a left outer join between tables or views along with a UNION ALL view may return incorrect results. The UNION ALL view must be the right table or null-producing table of the left outer join. In addition, the SELECT clause must be specified with DISTINCT for the tables or views. The above mentioned scenario will likely cause DB2 to return more rows from the left outer joining process, than the optimum value. | |
